Snagov: Betcha never heard of that before


Hello everybody! Another hard working week in Bucuresti!!!!

Bucuresti Zone Elders


Tuesday was a solid day because it was Zone Conference! Of course it was in Bucuresti and we had quite a good time. We focused a lot on using members more in our missionary work. The motto of the conference was MEMBER IT and we got pretty hyped about everything. It was cool to see everyone as well and see how everyone is doing.

Wednesday we had a full day of contacting and lessons and it went pretty well. We had 2 big lessons with our men Felix and Florian. The first one with Felix was pretty darn good. We had a member named Fratele Matei with us and we gave a pretty scattered Restoration lesson for the most part. But it was really good because it helped Felix get comfortable with Matei and it should start a great friendship between the 2 of them. Our second lesson with Florian was also pretty good. It was really quick and simple because we are giving him over to the Zone Leaders because he lives in their area. But we read the Book of Mormon with him and he felt the Spirit really strongly. It was so awesome and it topped off a good day.

Thursday we did a lot of stuff with members which was really great. We did some contacting with a member named Nabil and helped him in general because he is going through hard times with his life and everything so we were there to be his friends and help him feel loved. We then went on a run with Alejandro because we are helping him get healthier and it's going pretty well. He is loving every second of it and he just feels great now! MEMBER IT!!!

Friday we had a lesson with this man named Tudor who was so freaking awesome but he doesn't live in our area! So we taught him the Plan of Salvation with the Zone Leaders so we can have an easy hand-off so everyone is happy. But the lesson was really good and we hope that he progresses a lot in the weeks to come!
Instead of pumpkins, lets use watermelons!


The weekend was pretty relaxed for the most part. We went and ate Chinese food with a member named Fang, also from China, so that was a really fun time. We then had another lesson with Felix to just simplify and clarify the Restoration and we learned that he has read all the way to Alma 50 now. So that's pretty darn intense! And then on Sunday, we had church and Felix came once again! It was a pretty great sight to see and he told me he really enjoyed church and everything that happened so that is awesome!

To clarify about the title, this morning we went to visit a small town named Snagov which is a little outside of Bucuresti. We explored a bit and had a good time as elders of Bucuresti! Now I want you all to explore and find new things, whether it be in nature or in the scriptures. Seek to find new things and learn everything you can about what you want to know. Seek to find the truth!!! I love you all and I hope for the best from all of you!!!

Stand Ye in Holy Places

Hey everyone!!! So this was a really big week and a good amount of things went down, but I don't have all the time to talk about them, so I'll just give you all the basics! Bowen and Hoisington in the street! So the highlight and downfall of this week was when we set a baptismal date with Felix for about 24 hours. So we met up with him this week and we had a lesson about the Plan of Salvation. We had Fratele Matei with us and he was a big help for us because he loves this lesson. So we teach and it went really well and we set a date for August 18th! We were happy, Matei was happy, it was great. But we were talking with him at night and he said he no longer had any faith. So naturally, we meet up with him again and it was an interesting meeting. Essentially he is looking for historical evidence that the Book of Mormon is true and he doesn't have that evidence that it is true. So, we dropped his date and we won't be meeting with him anymore until he starts having ...

HammocKings! Hey guys this was a crazy week on so many levels!!!! Tuesday was a pretty packed day. We had 3 lessons with 3 investigators and they all went well. Our first was with Mihai and we helped him try and get back on that path towards baptism. He's been kinda flaky and this lesson was to really help him get back on track. We then had a lesson with Victoria and this was one of the highlights. We taught her about the Restoration and reestablished those expectations that we have for her. Turns out she has read from the Book of Mormon and is starting to see the similarities of the Bible and the Book of Mormon. She is starting to really progress and only big things are going to happen. We then taught Catalin a little about faith. This is what we really want to focus with him if he is ever going to progress any time soon. Overall, it was a bomb day! Am I real? Wednesday we had a slightly worse day as we only had 2 lessons to teach. The first was with Mihai ag...

Back to the Land of Promise

Hey everyone, sorry you didn't hear from me this last week. We had some Carbon Monoxide problems, but no worries, I am alive and well and I am able to email this week!! So transfers happened again and this time I am not safe from the chopping block as I will be checking out of Cluj :/ It's been great here and I loved serving here but the Lord needs me in other places. And that place just so happens to be Pitesti once again! It's been a year since I served there so it'll be good to be back!! I'll be with a missionary named Elder Rawhouser so it should be a good time! We are going to get stuff done!! This was a pretty good week for us in Cluj. It was honestly a good ol' hardworking week that felt super long and hard until we saw the fruits of our labors at the end of the week. We had a couple really good lessons with people and tried to reset our expectations with our friends. We had a lesson with a guy named Calin for the first time and it went really wel...
